Arthur Schopenhauer, 1788-1860, German philosopher
On the Basis of Morality
The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.

Nothing shocks our moral feelings so deeply as cruelty does. We can forgive every other crime, but not cruelty. The reason for this is that it is the very opposite of compassion ... it is the greatest lack of compassion that stamps a deed with the deepest moral depravity and atrocity ... compassion is the real moral incentive.

Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character; and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.
